Chapter 289: Remember to make him accountable to me
Hearing this, Jiang Shishi was so nervous that her heart almost rose to her throat.
According to the content of the book, as well as the comments of the Mu Wang Party in the imperial court, if it is really as the Seventh Prince said, Jiang Shishi can guess what the Mu Wang Party will do to her once she is arrested, and use it to threaten the prince.
If the prince doesn't care whether she lives or dies, then she's finished.
If she is really the prince's weakness, then she and the prince are finished.
No matter what kind of result it is, Jiang Shishi doesn't want to face it.
"It's good for the king to let the people below cooperate with you, but now there are only the king and the princess in this carriage, and you still want to check the carriage?" The Seventh Prince's tone was quite dissatisfied.
"The humble duty is only to act according to orders, and please don't embarrass me for ......" The leader of the officers and soldiers was respectful and respectful on the surface, but he was quite disdainful in his heart.
A prince who has no real power and only knows how to do business, and he doesn't know what to be arrogant about?
Now that the officers and soldiers have opened this mouth, the Seventh Prince has already been set up here, if he doesn't let people check, it will look boring.
Therefore, the Seventh Prince could only order in a deep voice: "Lift the curtain and let them check!" ”
As soon as the voice fell, the driver outside lifted the curtain.
The leader of the officers and soldiers took a closer look at the carriage, and it was indeed only the two princes of the Seventh Prince.
It's just that when his eyes fell on the round face of the seventh princess, he couldn't help but take the portrait with "female thief" from his subordinates.
Seeing that the leader of the officers and soldiers looked down at the portrait, and then looked up at Jiang Shishi, and repeated this several times, the Seventh Prince became impatient, "Is there an end?" Look at the princess of this king again, gouge out your eyeballs! ”
After being reprimanded by the Seventh Prince, the officers and soldiers stopped comparing, knelt down and explained to the Seventh Prince: "Humble duty is guilty, but humble duty is not intended to stare at the princess, the main thing is that the princess's face is as round as the female thief on this portrait, and the humble duty has only looked at it a few more times......"
The guards beside the Seventh Prince were busy protecting the Lord and said, "Presumptuous! The seven princesses are beautiful and beautiful, how can they be compared with female thieves! ”
"Everyone in the capital knows that the princess is as rich as this king, and this king took a fancy to her at the beginning." His eyes fell on the portrait of Jiang Shishi, and the Seventh Prince asked condescendingly: "What, do you have an opinion?" ”
Fortunately, the princess of her family is just as round as Jiang Liangdi, but her face is not the same.
Coupled with Jiang Liangdi's supernatural disguise technique, Jiang Liangdi's shadow cannot be seen at all.
"I don't dare." The leader of the officers and soldiers hurriedly said: "The humble post is just a routine inspection, since there is no problem in the prince's carriage, you can let it go!" ”
After speaking, the leader of the officers and soldiers waved his palm at the subordinates blocking the city gate, and those people retreated to the side and let the seventh prince go.
In this way, the mighty team successfully passed through the north gate of Zhenjiang.
Until this moment, Jiang Shishi's heart in the carriage was finally relieved, but her palms were soaked with cold sweat.
In the early morning of the next day, everyone completely left Zhenjiang and arrived at the border of Yangzhou.
A few days later, the group took a boat from Yangzhou's largest wharf, crossed the Yellow River directly, and arrived in the capital in late October.
On the afternoon of October 22, the Seventh Prince sent Jiang Shishi to the gate of the palace.
"Thank you for your help this time." Jiang Shishi saluted the Seven Princes.
"No way, who made this king owe you a favor." The Seventh Prince said lightly.
Jiang Shishi: "Now that you have done me a great favor, we will clear up." ”
If it weren't for the help of the Seventh Prince this time, I was afraid that she would be arrested by the Mu Wang Party.
"I owe you so much that I can't pay it off, and if you have anything to do in the future, just ask." The seventh prince also said helplessly: "This time this king brought you back to the capital, King Kang and King Mu will know sooner or later, now I and the imperial brother are in the same boat, and when the imperial brother returns to Beijing, you remember to let him be responsible for me." ”
At the beginning, Yao'er was almost ruined by King Kang's party, thanks to Jiang Liangdi.
Later, the Mu Wangdang failed to win him over, and sued him for tax evasion, but fortunately Jiang Liangdi beat him in advance.
Otherwise, the two of them would have been finished long ago.
These... He remembers it all clearly.
Therefore, no matter how tired he was of the court's deceit, knowing that bringing Jiang Liangdi back to Beijing this time meant that King Kang's party and King Mu's party would treat him as a princeling, he still decided to help Jiang Liangdi without hesitation.
Jiang Shishi: "......" the prince abandoned her, how could she make the prince responsible for the seventh prince?
I don't know what happened to that man, he returned to Beijing before her? Or haven't returned to Beijing yet?
Seeing that Jiang Shishi's mood was a little low, the Seventh Prince realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly changed the topic, "Okay, this journey is tiring, I have to go back and rest quickly, you go to the palace." ”
Jiang Shishi nodded "um", "Remember to help me transfer the specialties from all over the world to Sister Zhi'er." ”
Along the way, she also prepared some local specialties for Lin Zhiyao.
In this way, Jiang Shishi said goodbye to the Seventh Prince at the gate of the palace.
When they arrived at the gate of the palace, Huang Dechang entered the palace gate with the prince's waist card, and the group walked back to the East Palace.
On the same day, the servants of Shiyue Pavilion were overjoyed when they saw Jiang Shishi.
Jiang Shishi also brought gifts to the minions, and let Chun Xing and Chun Tao send them down one by one.
When you return to the East Palace, you can't miss it out in the morning.
In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Shishi went to Concubine Su's morning province.
When she arrived at Concubine Su's bedroom, Lu Meiren, who had been grounded, had already passed the grounding period and had already arrived early.
As soon as Lu Meiren saw Jiang Shishi, she got up and saluted.
Jiang Shishi waved her hand, motioned for Lu Meiren to sit down, and found a place to sit down.
Not long after, Xue Liangdi also came, and when she saw Jiang Shishi, she smiled and said, "Sister Jiang, I heard that you returned to the palace yesterday, so I thought I could see you in the morning today." ”
She was in the same position as Jiang Shishi, and she had always been good with Jiang Shishi, so she sat down next to Jiang Shishi.
Jiang Shishi: "Well, I went back to the palace yesterday afternoon." ”
As soon as Xue Liangdi arrived, Concubine Ruan Fang arrived with the palace maid's hand.
Everyone got up one after another and saluted Concubine Ruan.
Concubine Ruan called "up", and finally fell on Jiang Shishi, "Sister Jiang, I haven't seen you for a long time, I've been looking forward to your return to the palace." ”
Jiang Shishi smiled lightly at Concubine Ruan, "Thank you Concubine Ruan for your concern." ”
"I've been looking forward to your return to the palace." Xue Liangdi leaned sideways and looked at Jiang Shishi a few times, "Sister Jiang, seeing that you are much thinner than before you left the palace, you must have had a hard time along the way, right?" ”
"It's okay, it's just that I've been to too many places, and some people are not used to the soil......" This time out of the palace, Jiang Shishi did lose several pounds.
Mainly most of the time in a hurry, the food is not very good, only occasionally when you stop at the inn, can you eat a hot meal.
Then there are too many dangers along the way, and I am worried all day long.
In addition, she helped the prince avoid spoilers many times, and Jiang Shishi was frequently punished with serious spoilers.
Although the spoiler punishment will not be life-threatening, if you vomit more blood, your body bones will be weaker.
"What does she have to work on." Just as Xue Liangdi was speaking, Concubine Su took the hand of the palace maid and appeared from the side door, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not yet returned to Beijing, and the real hard work is probably Yu Liangdi, who is still by His Royal Highness's side and protects His Highness's safety." ”
Concubine Su sat down on the top and looked at Jiang Shishi with disdain: "Unlike some people, they only care about themselves." ”
"Concubine Su didn't know, it wasn't that I only cared about myself, but that His Royal Highness thought I was weak and a burden, so he took the initiative to separate from me." Jiang Shishi can be regarded as figuring out the way of the harem to fight.
If you show off the prince's favor in the harem, you will definitely pull hatred.
But if you complain in the harem, although you won't get sympathy, at least you won't be resentful.
She went out of the palace to accompany the prince this time, which was enough to arouse people's jealousy, so she simply told everyone that the prince abandoned her and left, anyway, what she said was the truth.
Sure enough, I only heard Concubine Su say: "Yu Liangdi has a good figure and high martial arts, not to mention His Royal Highness, even I, as a woman, also like people like Yu Liangdi to be by my side." ”
"......" As long as you don't pull hatred, Jiang Shishi will say whatever Concubine Su says.
It was the prince, and when she returned to Beijing this time, she was in front of the prince at first.
Later, because she colluded with Huang Dechang in private, she gave the prince spoilers many times to avoid trouble, overdrew her body, and delayed her trip when she was recuperating, so she fell behind the prince.
I thought that the prince would return to Beijing before her, but I never thought that the prince had not returned to Beijing yet.
Presumably on the way back to Beijing, she was chased and killed by King Mu's party and King Kang's party, so she fell behind her, right?
I don't know if the prince will be scarred when he returns to Beijing as written in the book, and finally ends up dying young.
However, no matter what, it will only be a matter of a few days for the prince to return to Beijing.
After about a stick of incense, the morning province dispersed, Jiang Shishi held Chunxing's hand and walked slowly in the East Palace.
When passing through Tang Meiren's dormitory, it was quiet, even a little gloomy.
Jiang Shishi couldn't help asking: "How is Tang Meiren now?" ”
I remember that before she and the prince left the palace, Tang Meiren suffered from stomach cancer, and because of love and hatred, she colluded with Mu Wangdang to bury a paulownia puppet that cursed Emperor Jianyuan in the dormitory, and planted it on the prince.
And because he was jealous of her favor, he sprinkled poisonous scorpions in her Shiyue Pavilion, wanting to poison her.
In the end, the prince was demoted from a side concubine to a beauty, and he has been grounded here.
"......" was asked by Jiang Shishi, Chun Xing's expression was serious, and she was still a little frightened when she looked at the Tang family's courtyard, "The little master doesn't know yet, this man died a while ago." ”
"Dead?" Thinking that Tang Meiren had such a disease, Jiang Shishi was not surprised by this result, she just asked: "Did you die of illness?" ”
Chun Xing shook her head, "Didn't the Tang family suffer from stomach pain, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince banned her feet again, there was no imperial doctor to see her, and there was no painkiller to drink, her illness became worse day by day, every time she became ill, the courtyard screamed in pain, and people panicked." ”
"I heard that the prince also asked people to specially supervise the Tang family and did not allow the Tang family to commit suicide, until August, the Tang family really couldn't bear the torture of illness, secretly smashed the porcelain bowl for eating, and committed suicide by cutting his wrists......"
"......" In this way, the Tang family was tortured by illness and died, which reminded Jiang Shishi that the Tang family had asked the prince to give her a happy death.
But the prince said that for the sake of the queen's face, even if the Tang family did not do it right, he had to save the Tang family's life.
At that time, the Tang family said that the prince pretended to be benevolent and righteous, but in fact he was indifferent and vicious.
Jiang Shishi didn't think that the prince was vicious, after all, the Tang family harmed the prince first, and it was all self-inflicted blame for ending up like this.
But she Jiang Shishi not only did not harm the prince, but also helped the prince avoid trouble many times, but the prince was able to say goodbye without saying goodbye, saying that they would separate.
At this point, she felt that the prince was indeed indifferent enough.
**
As Jiang Shishi guessed, three days later, in the early morning, the prince returned to Beijing.
As soon as he returned to Beijing, he took his injury to Emperor Jianyuan to ask for peace.
Nowadays, Emperor Jianyuan is lying in bed most of the time, and only when he is awake does he get up to review important official documents.
Sometimes, even lying in bed, the official reads the official document, and he gestures to make decisions.
When the crown prince returned to Beijing today, it was rare to meet Emperor Jianyuan when he was sober.
The father and son talked freely in the Longyuan Hall for a morning, and also had lunch together.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Emperor Jianyuan was about to take a nap, and the prince left from Longyuan Hall and returned to the East Palace with Yu Bing and others.
Long before this, the concubines of the East Palace knew that the prince was back in Beijing, and they were looking forward to it in front of the East Palace early.
When the prince appeared in front of the East Palace, the concubines bowed one after another.
Concubines: "The concubine welcomes His Highness back to the palace!" ”
Pei Xuanling glanced at the concubines, and finally fell on the two side concubines.
Then, he walked between the two side concubines and helped the two side concubines one after another.
After Jiang Shishi got up, she watched the prince surrounded by concubines and minions in the middle.
The man looked tired, with a scruffy beard, white gauze tied around his arms, and a few shallow scars on his gentle and handsome face, as if they had been cut by a sharp blade.
Even on the neck, on the back of the hands... But all the exposed skin has a little scar.
Not to mention the places covered by clothes, wounds must be indispensable.
However, looking at the prince like this, he is not as badly injured as in the book, and it should not be to the point of dying young.
That's good... In this way, she doesn't have to worry about having to bury the prince.
"Your Highness, why do you have so many wounds?" Concubine Ruan looked distressed.
After Concubine Su was helped up by the prince, she looked up and down the big and small wounds on the prince's body, and raised her hand to touch the wounds on the prince's face, looking like her heart was about to break, "Your Highness, didn't you go to inspect the water conservancy, how could there be injuries on your body?" ”
"It's okay to meet a few assassins on the way back to Beijing." Pei Xuanling's face was calm and light, and he politely greeted the two side concubines: "In these days when you are not in the East Palace, the two of you have worked hard to take care of the East Palace. ”
Concubine Ruan smiled softly, "This is what a concubine should do, and it is the hardest time for His Highness to run around." ”
"Sister Ruan is right, it's not hard for us to take care of the back house, and His Royal Highness will go to various places to inspect water conservancy, which is the hardest." Concubine Su raised her head and smiled brightly at the prince.
Immediately afterwards, Concubine Ruan also said to Yu Bing: "Sister Yu has also worked hard all the way, you are a woman, not only accompany His Highness, but also protect His Highness's safety, which makes me wait for admiration." ”
"I like to practice martial arts since I was a child, and this time I went out of the palace with His Royal Highness, and I did what I liked, and it was not hard to talk about." Regarding Concubine Ruan's promotion, Yu replied coldly.
"Although you have liked to practice martial arts since you were a child, it is really admirable that you are a woman who accompanied His Highness from birth to death." Concubine Su glanced obliquely at Jiang Shishi beside her.
"Unlike some people, not only can't help His Highness, but also is sick, it's a complete burden, fortunately, His Highness separated from her early, otherwise I don't know what it would be like to be dragged down by her."
